★★★★ The Rob TV 5/7/2026 v4.4.0
I think that if I'm a paying customer that I should be able to set the speaking lessons to longer than 5 minutes. 5 minutes isn't enough to learn a lesson completely. I'm tired of the timer running out and getting cut off mid sentence. the lessons use to be 10 minutes long. I've seen Tiktok creators with longer sessions. no where in the settings does it indicate where you can set the speaking length of a lesson. Support didn't help when asked how to to increase time length. I ASKED 3 TIMES!!!

★★★★ Mei Coutinho 5/6/2026 v4.4.0
Very limited. I don't even see why I should invest and subscribe since, at least for first impressions, the app isn't much different from other language learning apps. Saw a girl on 抖音 learning German and it looked very personalised and fun, but after trying it out myself, I realised that there is nothing you can get without subscribing. And from the trial, it seems more like the app is for fun, and not for real learners. The strict mode, for example, isn't strict at all with my pronunciation.
★★★★ Paramjeet Singh 5/6/2026 v4.4.0
it is good app but worst thing is the i want to learn is not available which is 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁CZECH OR THE LANGUAGE OF THE COUNTRY CZECH REPUBLIC
★★★★ SAMIA PLAYSPUBG 5/6/2026 v4.4.0

★★★★ Aaron Lamorand 5/6/2026

★★★★ Hamza Khan 5/2/2026 v4.3.3
IS THIS A SCAM APP OR WHAT,?? THE APP STATED THAT I CAN SIGN UP FOR A FREE TRAIL FOR A WEEK AND I DID SIGN UP BUT THAN THEY CHARGED ME AFTER I ADDED MY CARD. I WANT MY REFUND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
★★★★ Zeel Gohil 5/2/2026 v4.3.3
it doesn't allow me to do the trail however it also doesn't allow me to purchase a subscription. I heard it's good but can't really try it at all.
★★★★ Rawan Ahmed 5/1/2026 v4.3.3
no extended free trial as mentioned BEFORE PAYING why do i have to pay to get a free trial? and you say you are improving the listening to errors but that is not true, the ai is still praising users of errors till this day, and all the ads about this app were amd are fake.
★★★★ Derek 5/1/2026 v4.3.3
not particularly helpful in vietnamese, as it sometimes mispronounces tones and explains some of them wrong.
★★★★ Layan Eissa 4/30/2026

★★★★★ ooJetLeeoo 5/6/2026 v4.4.0
hmmm to be honest, there are a lot of bugs in this app, switching levels don't work and get stuck, keep on loading when I switch languages also. I'm using Android 16
★★★★★ Wouter Menninga 5/4/2026 v4.4.0
app did not give me enough time to try it out, before requiring me to join. moreover, i cannot subscribe, pressing the continue button does nothing. all in all, very buggy, does not inspire confidence to purchase anything.
★★★★★ Fack Yew 5/4/2026
not an ai, doesn't listen I'm not a beginner and it was not listening to a word I said, I went as far as speaking an entirely different language and full sentences... told me my pronunciation was spot on except when I said the prompted word or phrase.... then I was wrong 🤡 I wish I was joking but no.
★★★★★ Abhishek Saha 4/30/2026 v4.3.3
amazing some app shows ai tutor but they are fake the real ai tutor is in this app but money sucks 😞 don't have money make it free
